Rotary heat pump

Abstract

An original rotary heat pump suggested by the au-thors is described in the presented paper. All thermo-dynamic processes of working fluid (evaporation - com-pression - condensation) based on the principle of heat pipe are provided in one volume of mushroom form closed vessel. The transportation of external heat flows is com-bined in the unit as well. The heat necessary for evapora-tion is taken from external heat sources, and heat produced by working fluid at condensation is transferred by disk type ventilators (authorship certificate No 98544, 04.01.1981). The three components of a new type are ap-plied in the suggested heat pump: hydro-dynamic pump, disk ventilator, and regeneration heat exchanger.
